Hi New here

[Jessinda]

Good Morning,
So glad I have found this place. WOW, really never knew so many people are like me and trust me, I would not wish addiction on anyone, but am glad to know, I'm not the only one! My name is Jessinda, I'm 36 and have been an addict for three years on lorcet 10/650 and have been of it for 24 hours again!!!! I have tried many times to kick the habit with NO success what so ever! I come here in hopes to get support and help out when I can. I spent most of yesterday crying my eyes out and just being soooo depressed I thought, I want to die now!!!! I'm sure some of you here have felt that way. Of course, I'm still here and still alive. Well, I guess that's all for now. I look forward to hearing from you and getting input on how to stay clean if it's possible??? Is it???? Jessinda Thanks for reading

Yes, get some Immodium!!! This is an almost totally avoidable withdrawal symptom, so you may as well rid yourself of it.

I'm doing fine...... been off percs for 8 + months, and loving it!
The people here are great.

Hang in there Jode

Hey,
YES it is 6 day's today clean : ) Peaz I totally laughed when you said buy good toliet paper, thanks I needed that!!!! I am sorry about getting you mixed up but wow 16, Oh man, is it 16 months or 16 years??? LOLOLOL I can't remember anything, I think it's 16 months and I think that's totally awesome!!!! Yesterday, was kinda crazy for me, amodiam AD is becoming my best friend lolol, It's morning here and I know I have to keep myself busy to keep my mind of the pills. I'm taking one day at a time, but really looking forward to having one week behind me. I'm hanging in there and doing my best NOT to let my thoughts take me back to my pills. I have had enough of being numb and want to have feelings and emotions back, and thank GOODNESS I have a great therapist to help me deal with my emotions and feelings. Take care all and look forward to posting tomorrow with 7 day's clean Jessinda

Jodie, since only a couple days ago, when you were at your 24/day T-3 intake(of some 4 years), you didn't feel this "fever"(do you have a fever?)...i'd have to say this is 100% certified WITHDRAWAL, and not your liver. You made almost a 40% reduction . You know i am definately not a doc., but you most certainly can satisfy that concern by having your enzymes run.(a pretty simple blood screen)

I know it is rough, and thats why i suggested a lit'l less aggressive cut(s)and to allow yourself to stabilize at each reduced rate.  The art of tapering is essentially twofold: 1.) Cut your meds slow enough, so that you are not shocking your body.  2.) Not dragging out the tapering regime too long, resulting in lessening your resolve to get off pills.  
It really is a balancing act.

I felt "fluey" pretty much throughout my taper(i went very aggressively), but i kept telling myself that is was going to be worth it!!!  And it sure as hell was.

Please keep posting!
